Place onions, garlic, poblano pepper and tomatoes (if using fresh) on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper and roast for 20-25 minutes.

Place the roasted vegetables in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and wait for 20 minutes. Peel all roasted vegetables and place in a blender.

Place dried peppers in a covered saucepan filled with boiling water (turn off the heat) and let it sit, covered, for about 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. Remove the stems and seeds. Place chilies into the blender with the roasted vegetables and the chipotle in adobo. Puree until smooth. Add some of the broth if necessary.
